// WHY THIS MATTERS

Running agents on rented cloud compute means someone else has the logs. Running them at home means you get to see everything, including the mistakes.

// HOW IT WORKS

The dashboard is simple: a Grafana board watching token spend, tool calls, and a big red "revoke credentials" button wired to an actual relay, not a hope.

// WHAT I LEARNED

Self-hosting an agent is less about saving money and more about being able to answer "what exactly did it just do" in under ten seconds.
